Default ZN6 with a Dak-Dak(FA20)

Hello I'm Steven. Long time lurker, bought an 86 with a Subaru engine in it just over a year ago. Here's a picture of it.



I've done a little bit of modding to the car now and am looking for options on tuning. Haven't really had much experience with it tbh as my last car was a 23yr old MX-6 Turbo.

I'm on the fence about going with an Ecutek(already have purchased a license so can do remote tunes) or a "Verso" tune. Any advice on the two would be appreciated

Oh, I'll probably stick to N/A for a while until after summer..

Update: Keeping the car as N/A
Updated mod list

Go the open source tune (verso) hands down and speak to a member called Intra here about that. Nice looking 86. Pick your tuner not your tuning software

Thanks I was thinking about going with ASG too. Currently it's been flashed with a base flash(generic with similar mods) from EcuTek.
Could that possibly be a problem?

Nothing wrong with Ecutek on 86s, heaps of them have been done, and most of the bolt on Superchargers and Turbo kits ship with them.

Do you know any workshops that tune EcuTek's that are familiar with Subaru engines though(besides TMS)?

Actually, I'm really after a workshop/tuner that has good experience with Subaru engines. Verso/EcuTek should be fine, but I would prefer getting my car getting a safe/reliable tune with a lil bit of power for my I/H/E mods.

FA-20 is not your standard EJ20 - People everywhere are still learning. But both of those places service and build plenty of Subaru's and have been around for a very long time.
